Topic

Power and Simplicity using Tables for Dates and Numbers

Details

In this session we will explain how a certain class of queries can be made simpler with pre-built tables for dates and numbers. These tables simplify aggregations and groupings involving time periods and numeric ranges, aid in gap analysis, and allow clever ways to implement certain algorithms – all without having to resort to procedural code. Examples include identifying the number of business days between two dates, grouping data by weeks and quarters, parsing strings of comma-separated numbers, and identifying missing numeric values in a table. We will present these and other examples and show how these tables may be designed and populated.
